Reincarnated As A Fox With A System
Chapter 40 Trap!
Pitter…
Rain started to fall from the night sky as Tang Li Xue arrived at Elder Lin's residence.
Elder Lin's residence was actually no less luxurious and grand than that of Uncle Xiao Hei. It also signified how important Elder Lin was in the fat uncle's eyes.
Not only that, but the number of guards stationed at Elder Lin's place was also astounding!
'As I expected from that crafty uncle ... He must have been afraid of Xiao Hei sending some assassins to take revenge against Elder Lin or steal the abundant resources from Elder Lin's place! Unfortunately, all these guards are useless against me! Uwehehe…'
Although the rain was still pouring down with a rush, it did not affect Tang Li Xue's movements at all or her [Ethereal Form] divine ability!
With his [Enhanced Sense of Sight] plus his [Night Vision], he had no trouble moving at high speed in the darkness!
In addition, he was also supported by [Enhanced Hearing Sensors] and [Enhanced Olfactory Intentions] for detection!
In fact, he had already found several black-clothed men hiding in the shadows. Of course, all of the intentions of these black-clothed people were not to kill elder Lin, instead, all of them were definitely the fat uncle shadow guards assigned to guard Elder Lin secretly.
'Mufufu... Patrol guard? It's useless! GRADUATED!'
Tang Li Xue ran past all the guards patrolling easily.
'The shadow guard hiding behind the shadows? Easy! GRADUATED!'
All the shadow guards who were hiding could not even see and feel his presence so how could they stop Tang Li Xue! So once again, Tang Li Xue passed them easily.
'Huh .. is that a trap? Pffft! It's futile! GRADUATED!'
There were some very thin silk wires connected with some bamboo, the purpose of this trap was that if an intruder accidentally touched it it would make a loud noise that made all the guards vigilant.
However, Tang Li Xue could even pass through a solid wall with an [Ethereal Form] let alone this kind of trap! So Tang Li Xue once again passed through them all like the wind.
Every time he crossed an obstacle, Tang Li Xue's confidence became even more swollen! In the end, he was feeling too complacent and it would be fatal proof in a complicated quest like this since one small mistake alone was enough to mess things up!
'Eehhh... What is it? Another trap? Doesn't matter! NO.. AAAAAAHHHH!'
Tang Li Xue only looked at the other thin silk cable a few meters in front of her, but before she got there, her petite hairy body fell down!
Another classic trap: a deep pit full of sharp spikes!
Fortunately, Tang Li Xue was still in [Ethereal Shape] cheat-like mode so all those sharp spikes passed through her body harmlessly.
'Tsk ... other old traps! But how could I not have found it before?.......An illusion? They used illusions to cover it up now? Tsk... Tsk... Now how can I get back to the surface? Even my [Jump] skill cannot reach that high!'
In the end, Tang Li Xue decided to purchase the [Climb] skill from her system which cost 1 Skill Point again then use it to climb back up from the deep hole to the surface.
'Haaaiiissss.. It would probably be easier if I infiltrated from the front gate using my [Ethereal Form] rather than sneaking in from the back like now! I went too deep into his yard! Rather than taking a detour, I would rather deal with it head-on because it is faster and saves time!'
Tang Li Xue could only maintain her [Ethereal Form] for less than thirty minutes so she knew she had to be fast!
'Instead of being too careful and wasting too much time... Just push it boldly forward! YOHAARGEEE!'
'Hooooooguuuuffff! Once more... YOHAARGEEE!'
He fell into a few pitfalls again and again but he didn't mind at all and climbed up again and again!
'Fortunately, there are no traps like landmines, or I will be completely damned!'
Actually, THERE was a trap like a landmine in that courtyard but the mechanism was slightly different from the previous world. It was called a 'Imphatic Burst' and as the name suggests, it would explode if someone touched it!
Xiao Hei and I!'
Yes, this is a bet between them!
If Tang Li Xue really managed to rob all the resources in this Elder Lin place and take her revenge on that Elder Lin then she would deliver a very heavy blow instead to Elder Lin that but also to that fat uncle and his faction at once! Flipping the situation between Xiao Hei and his uncle in one fell swoop! in one night!
Of course, it was not at all easy since his movements were also limited by time! He only had a few hours to find Elder Lin and take all those resources into his pocket! Otherwise, the morning would come and it would make it harder to move and who knew if that sly fat uncle would come here as well in the morning?!
AND Tang Li Xue also did not have any information about the blueprint of this residence, not even the slightest bit! So he had to explore all the rooms in this residence one by one to find where Elder Lin was and where he stored all his resources...
'Huh... headache!!! Which direction am I going now? East, west, south, or north?........ Aaaarrrggghh... This place really drives me crazy!!! And I'm so tired now! I really want to rest!'
